    What beautiful work and I like the pink binding idea. Don't want anything to take away from such gorgeous work.

    I think a very small green sashing would make each basket stand out....or "pop". Then do your binding in the same green without a border so as to not make the quilt any bigger than you want it. Good luck. Your baskets are beautiful.

    Gorgeous work !
    I'd do a small "30's green" sashing, it would set the blocks and accent them. You could do pink posts at the intersections. IMHO, pink sashing will make it a really PINK quilt. But I'm a green person so ... :)

    I like the idea of setting them on point-don't think you really need to add a border.

    Each one is so beautiful. Yes, I agree with Grama. They should be set on point so that each basket is shown upright. Please let us see the results when finished

    Here are a couple of pics of my quilts where I set the blocks on point and did some piecing in the alternate squares. I have a personal thing about representational blocks being in an upright position. That's just me, as you know, they are tons of basket quilts out there that are "tipped"
